Both Toro y Moi and Astronauts, etc. (the lead singer of the group is also the keyboardist for Toro y Moi) have been busy. The latter is releasing their debut album next Friday (we just touched on it earlier today by sharing "See You" from it), and Toro just released his own album, Samantha, two weeks ago. Now, with a joint tour on the horizon (dates are below), the two acts have collaborated on a cover of Elton John's classic "Rocket Man". As expected, the cover does the original justice, and their super smooth rendition of the track is one that ought to get you out and see them live. 9/18 - TBD Fest - Sacramento, CA 9/19 - Revolution Hall - Portland, OR 9/20 - Neumos - Seattle, WA 9/21 - Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver, BC 9/24 - Mill City Nights - Minneapolis, MN 9/25 - Majestic Theatre - Madison, WI 9/26 - Wooly's - Des Moines, IA 9/27 - Pyramid Scheme - Grand Rapids, MI 9/28 - Beachland Ballroom - Cleveland, OH 9/29 - Waiting Room - Buffalo, NY 9/30 - Higher Ground - Burlington, VT 10/1 - Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn, NY 10/2 - Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn, NY - SOLD OUT 10/3 - The National - Richmond, VA 10/4 - Rams Head - Baltimore, MD 10/6 - Music Farm - Charleston, SC 10/7 - Georgia Theatre - Athens, GA 10/8 - Free Bird Live - Jacksonville, FL 10/9 - State Theatre - St. Petersburg, FL 10/10-10/11 - Ill Points Festival - Miami, FL 10/12 - Vinyl Music Hall - Pensacola, FL 10/13 - Republic - New Orleans, LA 10/14 - Saturn - Birmingham, AL 10/15 - Minglewood Hall - Memphis, TN 10/16 - The Ready Room - St. Louis, MO 10/17 - The Blue Note - Columbia, MO 10/18 - Granada Theatre - Lawrence, KS 10/19 - Waiting Room - Omaha, NE 10/21 - Gothic Theatre - Denver, CO 10/22 - Sunshine Theatre - Albuquerque, NM 10/23 - Crescent Ballroom - Phoenix, AZ 10/24 - The Observatory - Santa Ana, CA 10/25 - Pappy & Harriet's - Pioneertown, CA 11/6-11/8 - Fun Fun Fun Fest - Austin, TX 11/9 - Teragram Ballroom - Los Angeles, CA - SOLD OUT
